Muffler Decision...Opinions Welcome

[BeggedForForgiveness]

So I'm trying to figure out which muffler to install. I'm leaning toward Flowmaster's Super 44 or 50 series and removing the factory resonators. Price is definitely a factor. Want to stay sub $200. My neighbor just did the 40 series with res delete for $150 or so.

I've YouTubed umpteen trillion sound bites. Now just want to open up a can.

What are the forums' thoughts?

My vote is for a delete. Turn off the MDS and enjoy!

I say go for it --- that would sound rad.

I bought the Flowmaster off Amazon for around 260 shipped, but havn't installed yet. It's a little over your price but no install cost, easy to do yourself.

I know it's over your price range but I plan to do the mufflex magnaflow direct replacement muffler. Magnaflow is high quality and zero cutting or welding involved.

I also vote magnaflow.

Just be ready for rust on the flowmasters after winter. I ran a 40 series on my 02 and it sounded nice but it rusted easily. Put a magnaflow on it with a cut out later on and the magnaflow had very minimal rust after a couple years. The cut out was way better than either muffler.

How did the MagnaFlow sound compared to Flowmaster, and which was louder?

Thanks for the opinions. I did hear the Flowmasters had rusting issues. I could always wait and save a bit more for the Magnaflow. The direct fit would be nice so I could just do it in my garage. Mods are great even when just talking/dreaming about them!!!

Flowmaster was louder. I think the magnaflow was a longer muffler overall in length anyway. But the flowmaster sounded nice and throaty at certain RPM's. That's the one thing I remember about it lol. This was on a 4.7.

The magnaflow was quieter because when I put the cut out on behind it, I could either open the cut out and be loud, or close it and run the exhaust through the magnaflow and have it be quieter. 40 series was loud/deep/throaty. Magnaflow was deep but not as loud because it was a longer muffler.

Hard to really tell a difference on YouTube. Both sound pretty badass to be honest. But that's YouTube and you don't get to experience the dreaded drone...or lack of.

Leave factory resonators and you'll love it.
Pretty much what I had first and received many compliments on it

Magnaflows too, after a couple months mine was the most rusted part of the exhaust
